Yeah, I was just fucking with ya. There's a New Zealand guy I partied with before who I mistook as Australian and he got all mad and I asked "well what's the big deal, It's close enough" and he was all " Ya uddn't waaaanta be callllled ah Yankee wuddja?"

We're going to be here for a while if you're telling stories about mistakes you've made.

I still can't believe that a huge brand in Australia is called COON cheese... It's so perfectly Australian though.

Well, I mean, I do notice a discernible difference, even when I'm crossing over into Cloverdale or the Tacoma area. Americans seem more angry and keep to themselves. Canadians a lot of the time really are overly friendly and ridiculous, which sounds kind of cool but it's all a charade... I notice this difference while I'm in grocery stores. People in the states are just more standoffish. And there is a lot less multiculturalism, but as a result there's a distinguished American culture that you can feel. I think it's cool... Even though I don't necessarily prefer one over the other.

I've just grown up on American culture though, so It feels cool to be out there experiencing it.. Even if Seattle is really not all that different from Vancouver...

I really wanna go and visit Texas. It's next on my bucket list.

well I mean, shit, you really should come and visit Vancouver.. Even my place of residence, it's just a total melting pot... I'm actually seeing more and more Muslims too. All of my encounters with them have been absolutely lovely and they've seemed like the most pleasant people though. It has me maybe second guessing some of the stuff I've spouted over the years. But you look around the world and these extremists are causing a lot of hell. So it's a complicated issue.

I see all these little girls running around playing with the head things on, and just having a blast and it is really nice to see.

he would like to but they would never accept him. He only aspires to the kind of bad-mannered myopic anti-intellectual xenophobia he would encounter in rural Texas

This is amazing coming from you, but it's not complicated. Some people are assholes and some are not. It makes no difference what religious or racial group you are talking about. Assuming that extremism is a defining characteristic of Islam is obviously stupid and false to all of us who have actually met and interacted with a significant amount of Muslims, or who actually bother to learn anything about Islam or the Islamic world.

Yeah exactly, I'm talking about like maybe 3 muslim families that I've recently conversed with, so it's a meaningless sample size. But to me they seemed legitimately thrilled to be a part of the community

It's weird how all the local Muslims seem like totally rad people, yet incredibly poor regions of the world with high Muslim populations are torn apart by conflict.

I guess it must be differences in how they interpret the Core-arn or something.

if you think Vancouver is a melting pot your head would spin around to see a city like DC or New York

ehh I dunno...

I'd say the only people that we don't see a lot of out here are blacks.

MASSIVE Asian population and East-Indian population and now a huge increase in Muslims...

60 minutes famously had a segment called HONG-COUVER about 20 years ago... and things have not changed.

It's all cool to me. I Know you guys think I'm a racist. But I get along with everyone. I think most of you guys would probably be shocked to spend a few days with me. I'm super easy going and non-judgemental

"I'm not racist because I'm going through a bit of a bánh mě phase and there's this hot Persian chick at the one supermarket that still sells cans individually."

white is a minority out here too. If you wanna be a racist anywhere in Canada then you've pretty much picked the wrong place to live.

lol. It's mainly Sharia law over there. They've based their actual laws on the Quran. 1 man = 2 women and such. Plus, there's a lot of terrorism around those regions. I don't think it'll end anytime soon. Sucks.
